Pocholo spoke on the first day of the job fair, with his topic “Passion-Driven Work.” In his quick but powerful presentation, he shared the story of how he established himself in the field of voice acting. He talked about the challenges, the monopoly and politics he had to overcome in order to achieve his success in the industry today. He also shared his entrepreneurial journey with his company, Creativoices Productions, and even amazed the audience with a “sample” of his character voices.

The meat of Pocholo’s talk is about how passion plays an important role in carrying out one’s responsibilities, regardless of the work or job title a person has. He shared his own learning about how passion drives a person to persist and succeed amidst challenges whether in business or in the workplace.
